The new international airport in the Tbilisi suburb of Vaziani will receive its first passengers after 2031. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, speaking with an annual report in the country’s parliament on Friday, announced this.
The airport will be built based on a former military airfield. Its capacity will be 18 million passengers per year, which is 4.5 times more than the current Tbilisi airport. The volume of investment in the project is estimated at $ 1.3 billion.
Earlier, the government promised that the construction of the airport began in 2024 and be completed by 2028, but the deadlines were shifted.
